Well, I've already read your own answer to that question, but nonetheless I'd think of you as a creative one who treats his lady to a variety of fun surprises. Our conversation last night may have something to do with that.

I have a sister. She's three years younger than me. Assuming the age gap didn't exist and she liked you, I'd have nothing against it. I'm not an overprotective brother who thinks that nobody is good enough for my little sister, but I do look out for her intently (whether she likes it or not), and would certainly observe the new guy closely for a while after meeting him. I have a feeling you and I would get on well, so you'd surely get the green light from me.

I like to keep fit, but don't play a lot of sport. If cycling counts, then I'd pick that since it's the only activity that I've engaged in consistently over the last couple of years. I also love a game of snooker or darts. As for athletic outdoor competitive sports, I don't play much of anything these days, which I plan to change soon. If I end up moving to a city for work in September, I intend to start playing five-a-side soccer again.

I didn't root for him, but it has nothing to do with where he's from. I just found him boring. I first saw Finlay at a WWE house show in Dublin in 2004. I had never heard of him at the time, and was still hyperventilating from having just seen my hero Shawn Michaels up close when Finlay appeared, so I really didn't give a damn about him at the time.

It was nice to see him appear on TV two years later, since I knew who he was while many others didn't. As well as that, since WWE always seemed to take place in a different universe from the one in which I lived my life, with it being full Americans and Canadians with their accents that I only ever heard on television, suddenly seeing lots of references to Ireland was cool for a while.

13-year-old me didn't care about Finlay's work ethic, or his value as a gatekeeper, or what he had given to the business, or any of that stuff. I just wanted to be entertained, and Finlay bored the hell out of me.

I have nothing against Northern Ireland or its people, but I have no particular affection for the place. Given where I live, it feels as far from me as the other countries of the UK. I've been to England numerous times, and also visited Scotland last year. I've never travelled to NI, so I have no reason to embrace its celebrities.
